How Far Will Drivers Walk For Parking
Professor Kohl of the University of Michigan reports that typical drivers will walk 300 to 500 feet for a store or work and at most about 1 ¼ blocks, roughly 1300 feet. He notes lack of parking worsens the issue and that a facility must be convenient and affordable to attract drivers. Some motorists circle blocks seeking a parking spot instead of moving to a farther structure.
